toy nostalgia

A recent 'stinky' thread got me thinking about this, how's about everyone posts some of their favorite toys/action figures from childhood. Try and be as specific as possible

1. Aliens by Kenner



2. Jurassic Park


I must have had 15-20 dinosaurs with tons of figures and vehicles. Including the Command Compound with Dino Damage.

3. G.I. Joe Mini Figures

4. Any classic Lego, especially the Town set with the Sail N' Fly Marina and the Cowboy and Indian sets.

Re: toy nostalgia

I was way into GI Joe...had the remote controlled tank, the F-16, battle Jeep, Cobra chopper etc.

Also remember being into Matchbox cars (naturally) and Star Wars action figures...

Re: toy nostalgia

G.I. Joes, old school Legos (still got em), matchbox cars (hated hot wheels), NINENTDO, Lincoln Logs, and the supersoakers that actually held a lot of water and shot hard...

Re: toy nostalgia

Re: toy nostalgia

Who could forget the matchbox and hotwheels? I had those playmats that had pictures of roads and buildings so you could drive around and other stupid shit. Now that was fun.

Re: toy nostalgia

I had a TMNT Sewer playset!



As for lego, my brother and I had a ton of castle and space stuff. My favorite was the Blacktron II series. I had one of these

Re: toy nostalgia

Lego, before it went to crap.

When my brothers sold their collection off (this was just the stuff that was theirs, not the family's) it was 2 14"x12"x14" boxes stuffed full, totaling 37 lbs. It sold on eBay for over $1k. :o

I only liked LEGO basic, though, to build houses.

Re: toy nostalgia

Old skool lego Technic!

I had a talking GI Joe, and some other funky little futuristic toy tank thing, it was like a tank that could break into two seperate tanks, and you could mix and match bits and pieces of the tanks.

Re: toy nostalgia

The old metal Voltron...that came apart and you could shoot stuff out of the individual tiger's mouths. I had them all and somehow I lost them between here and Venezuela.
